 | My view of the world | Sep 3, 2006 |
Welcome to my site. I've always thought that in case I decide to start 'blogging,' it wouldn't be about myself. So here's what I did: I compiled all my travel, dive and environmental articles that had appeared in a local newspaper where I work as a journalist, and pasted them all here. I hope that through these stories and underwater photos, you will appreciate how beautiful it is down there. I've been shooting with an E-1 for more than a year now and I find myself shooting more photos on land. I have accumulated some topside shots from my weekend shoots -- from old Intramuros and diverse Rizal to faraway places like Zambales, Donsol and Tubbataha in the Sulu Sea. At the moment, I am drawn to night photography and I hope to shoot more scenes once the sun is down. Feel free to browse through my 'blog' and photo galleries. And don't forget to tell me what you think and how you feel about them. Enjoy! -- Norman P. Aquino
